  • Audi Q2 to be offered as a petrol-only model in the country.
  • India will be getting the pre-facelift model rather than the updated version.
  • Pre-launch bookings open for Rs 2 lakh.
  • Doesn’t have any direct rivals, but closest ones are the X1, XC40 and the upcoming GLA.

Audi India has announced that the Q2 will be launched in the country on October 16. The Q2 will be Audi’s entry-level car and could be perfect for those looking for an affordable model with the four-rings logo on the nose.

Disappointingly, India will be getting the pre-facelifted Q2 rather than the updated model, which was recently unveiled in Europe. That said, the pre-facelift Q2 is still a looker with a clean and taut body. Moreover, based on the recent teasers, Audi could offer the Q2 with plenty of customisations and body colour options. And in typical Audi fashion, the Q2 comes with a large single-piece grille as well as LED headlamps and tail lamps.

Even on the inside, the Q2 follows the design language of the older generation Audis (read: A3) rather than the touch screen-laden cabin found in its new-gen cars. The infotainment system also has an old school swivel wheel for its operation and this makes life easier while using it on the move.
